Full-service packing, partial packing, or unpacking at your new place — your call. Our packers use high-grade materials and careful labeling so every box arrives road-ready and unpacks like a checklist.
Packing is the part of moving everyone underestimates. The day before move-in, you're staring at the kitchen wondering how to box 14 years of glassware in time. That's where we come in.
SMG offers full packing (we pack the whole house), partial packing (just the kitchen, just fragiles, just the closets), or unpacking only at your destination. All packing services are billed at the same hourly rate as your move — no separate pricing tier.
All included in the hourly rate — no surprise add-ons on move day.
Double-walled boxes for fragile rooms, standard for general items. All sizes — small, medium, large, dish-pack, wardrobe.
Acid-free packing paper protects dishes, glassware, and art. Generous bubble wrap on anything that bounces.
Hanging clothes go from closet to closet in 10 minutes. No folding, no creasing, no plastic bags.
Every box labeled with destination room and a short contents list — "Kitchen — Glasses & Mugs." Unpacking is easy.
Mirrors, framed art, marble tops, TVs. Custom crating for high-value items on request.
Optional add-on. We unpack, place items where you direct, and break down all the boxes — no piles of cardboard in your living room.

Professional Packing & Unpacking Services
For a full pack, we usually pack the day before your move. A 2-bedroom home takes 4–6 hours with a 2-packer crew. A 3+ bedroom home takes a full day, sometimes 2 days. We start in low-priority rooms (guest rooms, garage, storage) and end with what you still need to use that night (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom).
For partial packs (kitchen-only, fragiles-only), we usually pack the morning of move day right before loading. Faster, cheaper, and no overnight without your dishes.
Pro-Tip from Justin
Even if you're packing everything yourself, hire us for just the kitchen and fragiles. It's usually 2–3 hours of crew time, and you avoid the 1 broken item that costs more than the labor would have.
Boxes, paper, bubble wrap, tape, wardrobe boxes — all included in the hourly rate. No box-by-box markup.
Pack the day before for a fast move, or same-day for a one-shot job. Your choice.
$109/hr (2 packers) or $149/hr (3 packers) — same as a move. No premium pricing for packing.
